Blizzard selected the publisher and, it appears, didn't have good enough lawyers when they drew up the contract. Now if the assholes at VU are breaking the contract Blizzard should sue them immediately.
It's not like they don't have an idea of what they plan. A while back there was talk about writing the next verions of the GPL in such a way that if you use a GPL app on a webserver and never distribute it you would be forced to open up any changes you made.
It makes it hard to plan for the future when they keep things so close to their chest.
I did read the article, I also know that they have been talking about GPLv3 for several years yet nothing comes of it. It would help if they where more clear about what they wish to have the new license mean.
There is a reason why Linux is licensed under the GPL v2 only.
Because of this line that was craftily hidden in the article summary " 'It is despicable,' said a spokesman for Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the late president's brother.""
That's why, damn people don't even read the article SUMMARYS before they bitch
My point is, you haven't read the game makers site, if you had you would realize their is just a little more to this than a computerized snuff film of a horriable day in Dallas, Texas.
Read about the 10,000 - 100,000 USD contest they are running, it appears that they think that no one will be able to make the shots match the Warren Commission Report.
IOW they makers of the game are doing the exact same thing the senate does 50+ times per year? It's king of like a whore complaining about sexual harassment.
What is you view on the current working conditions in the gaming industry at the larger companies and do you see the situation getting better or worse?

It has been due NEXT YEAR for about 2 years. All we get are these vague, general statments about what they intend.
Why is the development of a Public License so closed?
You do know that Kerry agreed with going to war in Iraq and that his personal assets eclipse by far the assets of the entire Bush cabinet, don't you?
Or are you just an idiot?
Where can one view a draft copy of the new license? If the answer is we can not, why can't we?

Do you have any info about that?

That may be why they are doing it.

Yes, as so was your boses behavior when he, while driving drunk, killed a woman.
But thats in the past and doesn't matter.
What is wrong with my posting history?
Well, don't I feel stupid. Please ignore my above post.
What is you view on the current working conditions in the gaming industry at the larger companies and do you see the situation getting better or worse?
Was that the Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor satellite?
You are welcome. It just upsets me when people try to file others in 1 or 2 neat little categories. The real world isn't like that.
Yes it does. Look at how much it costs to treat those fire victims and those who eat the 'wrong' things.
You just want to ban the things you don't like and leave the things you like alone.
Typical.
That isn't they way /. does things. The just ban you from posting for 7-14 days if you piss them off.
In the very beginning /. was a much nicer, more intellegent place.
Now I am off to SMASH OPENSOURCE CD!
